Ingredients
Quiches
- 1 refrigerated pie crust (or homemade)
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk or half-and-half
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of mini quiches.
- Prepare Crust: Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface and cut into 12 circles large enough to fit the muffin cups.
- Form Shells: Press each dough circle into the muffin cups, shaping them into mini tart shells.
- Mix Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or half-and-half), salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Add Spinach: Evenly divide the chopped fresh spinach among the prepared crusts in the muffin tin.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese on top of the spinach in each shell.
- Fill with Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full to allow room for the quiches to puff up during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes or until the centers are set and the tops are lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the mini quiches from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before carefully removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Frozen spinach can be used as an alternative—make sure to thaw and squeeze out excess water before adding.
- For added flavor and texture, try incorporating diced red peppers or onions into the filling.
- Store leftover mini quiches in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
- Reheat mini quiches in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes or microwave until warm.
